Finding move orders

Filter on Dispatch date or ETA date.

Single Step Move Orders - warehouses that are very close together

When the warehouses are managed by the same team and there is no transit time - there is no need for pick / pack / ship / receive and a one step move order will suffice

Can open and act on an existing move order in this screen - example is a move order created by Purchase Order

Filter the list of stock, choose the stock and bay, enter the quantity and bay being moved to in Warehouse 2 - the stock is moved when the status of the move order is updated.

The Purchase Order > Warehouse Distribution Tab indicates where the stock is to be sent when it arrives.

Each Supplier Delivery to any warehouse is a single purchase order - a Purchase order cannot be delivered to multiple Warehouses by the supplier

The stock will initially Land at the Warehouse nominated by the Purchase Order

The user will be prompted if they want to add these to an existing move order if any exist - or create a new one.

Move orders will be created when last item has been counted (see Purchase Order from PO to Goods Receipt#ReceivingthePurchaseorder) and will be in Plan Status.

Stock will not add to a move order that is in status "Transit", "Counted" or "Cancelled" status

Move order will open ready to pick immediately.

If the move order is not being picked immediately - it can be accessed from the warehouse in/out dashboard as a Move Out

Examples include replenishment requests from customers with consignment stock warehouses, shipping documents etc.

Move order Discrepancies

It is common that move order discrepancies will be found by the receiving warehouse. Damaged stock, missing stock or different stock received.

you may have to change the warehouse filter to see all relevant journals

Any discrepancy will be stock adjusted in the transit location before it is received in the destination warehouse. This adjustment will therefore not show if you are filtering the stock audit display by a warehouse.

The Move Order discrepancy report explains clearly what has happened and what needs to be done.The discrepancy report can be printed or emailed at any time from the Move Order Status menu. Automated emails are sent to branch managers involved for any discrepancies found.

If the warehouse managers after discussion

determine that 20 cartons picked as PRODUCTA were really PRODUCTB then they should do the appropriate stock adjustments in the source warehouse
determine that they were counted incorrectly at the destination then a stock adjustment should be done there.

The journal GL Accounts used is based on the Discrepancy Reason chosen by the receiving user.

If Pick error is chosen then the stock adjustment will use the Move Order Discrepancy GL Control account.
If Damaged or Spoiled is chosen then the Stock Adjustment will use the Stock Write Off GL Control account

No stock is left in a transit location or in any questionable state - stock adjustment journals are complete before the move order can be closed.

Move Orders with discrepancies can be listed from the Purchase Order from PO to Goods Receipt#PurchaseOrderReports Move Orders tab. Select Show exceptions only and Show closed orders, click Refresh and look in the Discrep column.
